Effect of Integrated Yoga and Naturopathy Intervention on Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Study

Background and Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, pain and stiffness in the joints.This study aimed to evaluate the effect of integrated yoga and naturopathy intervention on RA. Materials and Methods: A 54-year-old man diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis has been enduring persistent throbbing and aching pain in his major joints and morning stiffness for the last 10 months.He underwent a four-week integrated yoga and naturopathy regimen for RA.The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Rheumatoid Arthritis Severity Scale (RASS) were evaluated before and after the integrated intervention.Results: The present investigation revealed a decrease in the VAS) from 9 to 4 and the (RASS) from 220 to 135.These results suggest a reduction in pain and physical damage, as well as an improvement in functional impairment.Conclusion: This case report suggests that lifestyle changes through yoga and naturopathic interventions are holistic approaches to managing rheumatoid arthritis.Yoga and naturopathy treatments can be safely and effectively integrated into the management of RA.
